Orton seems the type to want to quietly disappear instead of getting a big send-off. I think he's old school enough to want to put someone over on the way out. The legend killer becoming a legend himself and then getting taken out by a new legend killer would've a good way to go. Especially as he'd actually be motivated. I swear to god if they give Theory the honor of retiring Orton…

I didn't realize Orton was only 43 until coming to this thread. The idea that he's younger than the likes of Sheamus and AJ is wild to me.

I saw that report early this morning before I got started on Mother's Day stuff so I pulled the ol' 2006 RKO shirt my dad bought me and wore it for the first time in awhile today. If the report's true and he's done, it's been a hell of ride really. Too bad we never got to see his heel turn against Riddle, but it is what it is.

I was really pulling for him to make it to 1,000 televised matches (he’s on 881 now according to my stats, but that’s his entire full-time career covered and I only have his one enhancement loss to Billy Gunn on a 2001 episode of Jakked left to count).

‘Doctors say Orton should never wrestle again for the sake of his health!’ Wrestling fans ‘He should wrestle Cena one more time!’ (Not a criticism of the OP, just thought it was funny to post grave news about someone’s health and also want them to wrestle another match)

The way he went out was kind of a whimper and he deserves to go out better. But it’s better to go out in a whimper than a wheelchair
